Squid Ink Pasta with smoked salmon, capers, lemon zest, preserved 🍊 peel, spinach, fresh cream cheese, truffle oil.
This is an adoptation from a bedazzling pasta dish that I tasted in Corniglio, Italy for quiiiiiteee a steep price, but boy was it every morsel worth it. The citrus contrasts with the fat from cheese beautifully. I had some orange peel preserved in oil for a while now, and I knew I HAD to try this recipe once I got back home. The ingredients are simple on their own, but pack such a burst of flavors - I haven't quite gotten over how incredible this dish is!
Today marks the end of the first week of Autumn Photography Challenge by Kimberly of @thelittleplantation , themed aptly as The End. I leave you this image for now; promising to post the recipe on blog soon-ish.

Steam Shot - Cooking Squid Ink Pasta
Day 2; Theme: Story Arc
Autumn Photography Challenge by Kimberly of @thelittleplantation
The idea was to capture the tons of action that goes on whilst cooking. Apparently I'm not the only one who finds the process beautiful - there's plenty others too.
However, my biggest challenge was to bring one meaningful steam shot from my tiny (read: cluttered) kitchen that has beautiful east facing light but a capture could've had 100 other items, and a clean shot is next to impossible. Presenting to you 4 of the decent shots from more than a 100 that I shot. With an annoying flu🤧. No kidding.
I'm stunned by the level of effort everyone's putting in this challenge - each action shot I witnessed today is to die for 🤩 I'm not at all happy with my shots - in fact they make me cringe when I compare my entry with that of others - but then I realise the whole point of this challenge was to push beyond one's comfort zone and work on improving skill sets, and that the idea of perfection is flawed. Thank you for doing this, season after season, Kimberly! I don't envy your job of selecting the best ones 😛💓
